Red Eye

Aroview: Dir. Wes Craven whittles a lean, claustrophobic thriller around the plight of a woman (McAdams), menaced onboard of short-haul plane flight by a suave and resiliant assassin (Murphy), who needs her to help with luring his target.

With fast, no-nonsense pacing and a gratifying concentration on character stress, this makes the most of its essentially contrived scenario. Despite concluding somewhat conventionally, its certainly worth climbing aboard.
